The style of every wedding starts with the BRIDE !!

What makes the best style for a wedding is that the bride stays true to herself and what she loves not what is the latest color or trend.   Start with finding the dress you love which will determine the venue, the theme and every detail that comes after that.  Whether a cathedral or a flowy beach dress or a short sassy party dress  or lace from head to toe, find the dress that makes you feel like your dream come true and then design around it.  If you aren't sure this is the time to have the wedding planner that is also
a great designer and can help you find your sense of style!
                               Off the shoulder sweetheart with utter simplicity and elegance!
                                 A beautiful twist with lace as it forms crisp flowing ruffles!
                         We would probably say "Chanel" just an utter classic -love the sheer gloves!
                             Yes - a blushing bride - endless yards of blush tuile and asymmetrical neckline                  wrapped in a removal but stunning bow wrapped with her bouquet of orchids!!
                                      Absolutely adorable flirty and informal!!!!!!!!!
For the look of a flowing billow of tulle in a long dress but just have to show off those legs!!!
                             If you want to take everyone's breath away try clouds of Pink!!

                                 Want a sweetheart neckline with a little feminine touch add a lace strap!

                   It  doesn't have to be form fitting to be flirty - a beautiful beaded top is the trick!

How about a Holiday Wedding Celebration - all rose gold glitter - stunning!


       Are you the girl that just wants a simple but elegant destination or courthouse out on the town then            this is for you - so beautiful and classic and what a beautiful neckline!

Breathtaking Bouquets!


After the Dress the next most important detail for the bride is her personal bouquet. 
So often a bride wants to have a colorful bouquet and sometimes that is a perfect look, but more often that not, having the bridesmaids in colorful florals frames her with a stunning bouquet designed in all shades of white and cream that compliment her dress perfectly.
